For the past fifteen years, the Goldberg Center has preserved Harvey Goldberg's legacy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, through its support for public lectures, workshops, seminars, and graduate and undergraduate education.
With the generous support of Harvey Goldberg's former students, admirers, and friends, the Goldberg Center is continuing to expand its support of vigorous and socially conscious historical research through an enlarged fellowship program, increased support of lecture courses that explore the history of "contemporary societies" for a new generation of college students, and support for projects involving the broader Madison community.
After years of collection, the Goldberg Center has cataloged, annotated, and archived audio tapes for over a hundred of Harvey Goldberg's surviving lectures. To make these available to a wider audience, we have converted these lectures into digital formats and engineered the result to maximize audio quality. For a sample of these discs, you can listen to audio clips from Professor Goldberg's famous "Contemporary Societies" course by clicking on the links on this webpage. Researchers who visit Madison campus will find the entire collection, including the original audio tapes, stored in the University Archives.
